Dealer destroyed my bumper

bmw_racer · 06-26-2007, 10:22 AM

Hello, can I ask the dealer to replace my bumper since they decided to drill two holes into it for the license plate frame?

Not if a front plate is required by law in your state.

But they made the holes really far apart to fit a big frame on it when I just want to screw the plate right into it... <sigh>

you can certainly ask them but I highly doubt you'll have any luck at all.Get some bumper plugs and youll be fine.

I will sue them. They drilled holes in my damn car!

<sigh> Those bumper plugs stand out... better than a black hole I guess...

Thanks!

Regardless of whether you put a frame or just a plate, the holes are spaced the same distance apart since the plate has to be screwed into the holder, no?

Nothing you can do bro...either just get the plugs, put on the holder, or keep an eye out for a replacement bumper in the marketplace. You never know when someone has one for sale if they changed to some sort of body kit.

EDIT: See...I just saw this as an example
